I agree, Wyden is probably the worst Democrat in the Senate now that Bayh is leaving. What I find most disturbing in this statement is the part about "avoid[ing] a partisan debate over how best to address the expiring 2001 and 2003 tax cuts." What's wrong with just letting them expire?

I've had many experiences with Wyden, He was going to allow us satellite users to pay the same as cable...never happened and the big dish owners were screwed, he was going to champion broadband for Internet users...never happened, he was all in favor of making Medicare affordable... never happened, He was going to make imported medicine free from consfication...never happened, he was going to make social security cola more fair... never happened.
All of this were guarantees and promises at his town house forums, where I spoke to him about the above, No e mail reply from him...another lying sack of...
